I am migrating our current 2.60f native win2k raid 5 scsi setup to a new 3.4ghz P4 2GB ram raid 1 system drive. The issue i have is wether to use raid 10 for the database drive. I have 4 x 120gb SATA drive on adaptec controller. They can be configured as raid 0, raid 1, raid 5, raid 10 or jabod configs. Given the caching and throughput of SATA i would have thought RAID 10 would give good performance and redundency without the RAID 5 issues. the controller have 150gbps throughput. Raid 10 is mirrored stripes :shock:

Any Thoughts? :roll:

    My informations say, that RAID 10 is optimal for DB files... in some cases, RAID 1 can be better, but generaly the RAID 10 is best....

    Indeed, we always use RAID 10 / 0+1 (almost the same)

    for Navision native DB you get best performance with Raid1. The more (physical!) drives you use - the better performance you get...

    best performance with 32 Harddisks -> 16x Raid1 for 16 DB files
